Adding Prezi Video for Zoom from an invite

Using the app
Add text and visuals on-the-fly
Once you’ve opened Prezi Video for Zoom, you can start typing right away. Your content will appear next to you live in your video feed.
To add a visual, click the image icon in the slide thumbnail. Here, you can search for a visual via keyword or browse our sticker, GIF, icon, or Unsplash libraries. You can also use your own image by clicking "Upload Image" from the content picker, or by pasting or drag-and-dropping a photo directly into the slide in your sidebar.
Navigating the app
You can navigate through slides using your arrow keys or by clicking on a slide to select it. Use the toggle button at the bottom of the sidebar to hide or show your content and control what your audience sees and when. When your content is not hidden, it will appear right alongside you in your video feed.
You can reorder your slides by dragging them up or down. Delete slides by clicking the three dots on the side of the slide and selecting “Delete”.
Make it your own
You can customize how your content looks using the “Look” button in the menu bar. You can choose a preset color scheme or swap the layout of your content here. Updating the color scheme will change the color of your text content and nametag for one seamless look. Change the layout if you want all your content to appear on your left or right.
Using your nametag
Nametags are controlled using the Nametag button in the menu bar near the bottom of the app screen. Clicking on the button will show or hide your nametag. Clicking on the small arrow icon will open the nametag modal. If you're a Zoom Essential Apps user, you'll get access to customize your nametag by adding a second line of detail or editing your name. Otherwise, the nametag will use your Zoom display name by default.
Starting the conversation
In the "Activity" section of your toolbar, you'll find Icebreaker questions to help kick start your meeting or get participants re-engaged.
To initiate an icebreaker, you'll be able to type your own question, or select a randomly-generated one. Then, when you're happy with your question, click "Ask question". Zoom will ask your permission to send the question to the other participants in your meeting. Click "Allow," and the other users on the call with you will receive a one-click invite that will let them open their own sidebar and participate.
All users will receive the same icebreaker question that you asked, and be able to answer it in their own video feeds.
Type your answer, or upload or select an image, and let others in your meeting do the same.
When your icebreaker activity is complete, just click "End icebreaker" and confirm you're finished. All participants will be brought back to their regular sidebar and slides and you can continue using Prezi Video for Zoom as usual through the rest of your meeting.
